The UK does have a constitution - an unwritten one, based on common law and 1000 years of legal precident. Constitutional questions not uncommonly arise in the House of Lords - the highest British law court. For example, the government has recently announced that they are going to revisit two current constitutional issues: the ban on Roman Catholics becoming Sovereign, and the fact that it is the eldest son who becomes Sovereign, rather than the eldest child (eg Princess Anne, the second eldest child of the current Queen, is only 10th in line to the throne because of this).
